XC60 hose burst repair question.

Aeroguy · Jun 25th, 2020, 22:26

Hi guys.

Any thoughts welcome.

My 2010 XC60 D5 205 developed a whooshing noise and threw up a fault code. Basically recovery guy put his hand into the bay and said there was gaping hole in one of the main turbo hoses.

Car is now in garage. Had call to say it needs 3 pipes in total. Over £500.

I am just confused as to how 3 pipe sections would need replacing, I am not doubting the report, just wondering if it is common for these cars to need 3 separate sections for a burst hose to prepare for this bill in the future. I also have an invoice from a garage stating that the car had blown a hose to the intercooler and a new boost pipe click and mass air sensor fitted only 2k mile ago. Is this common?

Car also needs a rear diff repair/recon for £1k. Just seems to eating money at the moment.

I noticed a bit of blue smoke before car went to garage and have asked garage to check to make sure nothing else is up, but was told it is probably from the turbo hose issue?

Any thoughts on the 3 hoses and whether this would affect the car putting out a bit smoke too?

Thanks.

Just a thought: you might get more response if you post in the relevant section:

(If this link doesn’t work, look for XC60 ‘08 - ‘17)

I have had turbo hoses split from fretting weakening it to the point normal operation caused it to fail and age perishing the hose so that normal operation caused failer.

The 3 sections may well be precautionary, certainly on old landrover still it is common to replace them all once one fails.

The fretting split I repaired with self amalgamating tape wrapped with a 3 or 4 layers of good quality scotch 88 insulation tape. That repair held for 5 years when the car was written off by a Seat coming the other way.

Volvo have become more silly with their spares pricing, Look on the tuning sites on the internet and see if there are any silicon pipes that would or could be made to fit, also check motor factors.

Only 2 weeks ago volvo wanted £820 for a drive shaft for mine, my local independant motor factor supplied one with twice the volvo garentee period and milage which I paid £190 for after the returnable surcharge was refunded.

Hi Paul.

Thanks for getting back. Certainly a difference there from £800 plus to £180ish for parts.

The car is having the work done as we only have one car and it has been in the garage for a week. I went ahead with the 3 hose repair, and the differential too.

It's not a main dealer.

I will bare in mind your thoughts on the tape etc for the future. Hopefully though that will be it for the hoses for some time. Especially at £540! Just seems really steep. I had a Saab Aero for 5 year before the Volvo and never had a repair anywhere near that... the car itself cost £1800.

Does anybody think the smoke may be related to the turbo hose perishing over time or something different, the car was put on a diagnostic so surely that would have shown an issue if something was up?

Apologies if I have posted this in the wrong section. I will be more vigilant next time, not really up to speed with forums.

Thanks again.

Get a live data reading of the two map sensors. The one by the intercooler goes faulty and reads under the actual value. This causes the turbo to think its not boosting as hard as it actually is, it then maxes out and blows the pipes. Careful there is two map sensors on this engine and be sure both read barometric pressure key on engine off.

That's an interest theory. One of the sensors has recently been replaced as little at 2k miles ago according to an invoice that came with the car.

The car is at an independent Volvo specialist and has had a diagnostic ran, so I would presume they would check this too.

Funny as the day before the fault I had to accelerate the car quite hard on a short slip road to really stretch it's legs, then I had to do the same the day I got that dreaded whoosh. So the boost would have been at it's peak through the revs.

Any thoughts on the smoke being related?

Cheers.
